Jungle River Resort in Bukit Lawang



[ENG]
Hi bloggers and community! Happy weekend. What are your plans for this weekend? Today I’d like to introduce you to one of the nature destinations I visited last week—Bukit Lawang, located in Langkat, North Sumatra, Indonesia. Bukit Lawang is part of Gunung Leuser National Park, one of the tropical rainforests dedicated to the conservation and rehabilitation of orangutans in North Sumatra.

Hi bloggers dan komunitas! Happy weekend. Apa rencana kalian weekend kali ini? Hari ini aku ingin memperkenalkan kepada kalian salah satu tempat wisata alam yang aku datangi minggu lalu, nama tempatnya adalah Bukit Lawang yang berada di Langkat, Sumatera Utara, Indonesia. Bukit Lawang sendiri adalah bagian dari Taman Nasional Gunung Leuser, salah satu hutan hujan tropis yang menjadi konservasi dan rehabilitasi orang utan di Sumatera Utara.

This trip was my best vacation so far in 2026—exploring the forest and getting closer to nature was something I never expected to be this enjoyable. Our 3.5 hour journey from Medan was well worth it when we arrived at Bukit Lawang, the view of the vast forest up there and the sound of the Bahorok River welcomed us. On the way to our lodging, I had to cross a long bridge over the river. Just look at that view—it’s so beautiful and serene. The bridge is quite long, and it’s pretty tiring if you’re carrying a lot of stuff, but for me personally, it was totally worth it.

Perjalanan kali ini adalah liburan terbaikku sejauh tahun 2026, menjelajahi hutan dan lebih dekat dengan alam adalah hal yang tidak pernah aku sangka akan menyenangkan ini. Perjalanan kami selama 3,5 jam dari Medan terbayar saat sampai di Bukit Lawang, pemandangan hamparan hutan di atas sana dan suara air sungai Bahorok menyambut kedatangan kami. Menuju ke tempat penginapan, aku harus melewati jembatan panjang di atas sungai. Lihat saja view-nya sangat cantik dan asri. Jembatannya cukup panjang dan cukup lelah ya kalau bawa banyak barang, tapi ini worth it sih buat aku pribadi.

There are plenty of lodging options here to choose from, my friends and I decided to stay at Jungle River Resort, which offers a direct view of the river.
As for food and drinks, there’s no need to worry, there are plenty of restaurants here, offering direct views of the river and featuring various distinctive orangutan decorations. The food here is quite affordable for a tourist destination.

Di sini banyak penginapan yang bisa kalian pilih, aku dan teman-temanku memutuskan untuk menginap di Jungle River Resort dengan view langsung ke arah sungai. Untuk makan dan minum tidak perlu khawatir mereka juga punya banyak restoran di sini, dengan view langsung menghadap sungai dengan berbagai ornamen orangutan yang khas. Makanan di sini cukup terjangkau untuk ukuran tempat wisata.

Unfortunately, not long after we arrived in Bukit Lawang, it started to rain, first just a light drizzle, then pouring heavily until midnight—so there wasn’t much we could do besides enjoy the sound of the rain, cook some food in the cottage downstairs, and eat a bowl of meatballs.
The atmosphere was quiet, all I could hear was the sound of the wind, water, and crickets. It turns out I really love this kind of peace and quiet. That night, I wasn’t able to explore many places here because of the rain, but the next day I had already scheduled a jungle trek to venture into the forest and see orangutans in their natural habitat. It was already quite dark, and it was time to rest.

Sayangnya tidak lama setelah sampai di Bukit Lawang hujan perlahan mulai dari rintik-rintik sampai turun deras sampai tengah malam, jadi tidak terlalu banyak aktivitas yang bisa kami lakukan selain menikmati suara hujan, masak-masak di pondok bawah dan makan semangkuk bakso.
Suasana yang senyap hanya terdengar suara angin, air, dan jangkrik. Ternyata aku sangat suka kedamaian seperti ini. Malam itu aku belum bisa eksplor banyak tempat di sini karena hujan, keesokan harinya aku sudah jadwalkan untuk jungle tracking dan masuk ke dalam hutan untuk melihat orang utan di habitat aslinya. Hari sudah cukup gelap dan saatnya untuk istirahat.
